The hot water is plumbed to the right on the front hand sink. Please either switch this so hot water is on the left or label.
Produce is washed in the left basin of the three-compartment sink and hands are washed in the right basin, with the middle sink as a spacer to prevent cross-contamination. Lettuce was draining in the middle sink today. Please ensure all produce is kept in the left basin only. This was corrected.
Please ensure all hot foods and foods that increase in temperature during preparation are cooled in 2-inch depths, uncovered until 41 degrees F.

Editor’s note:These figures are derived from inspections conducted by the Lewis County Public Health Department’s Food Safety Program.
Red violations are those most likely to cause foodborne illness and must be corrected at the time of inspection. Blue violations relate to overall cleanliness and operational conditions and must be corrected by established deadlines or by the next routine inspection.
Any establishment receiving 40 red points or any red point item repeated within an 18 month period is considered a high risk and must be reinspected. An establishment that receives 75 red points or 100 total points (red and blue) on a routine inspection or 40 red points on a repeat inspection will have their food establishment permit suspended.
